The　North　American　specifications　for　the　design　of　cold-formed　steel　(CFS)　framed　shear　walls　(CFS-SSSW)　with　steel　sheet　sheathing　provides　tabulated　values　and　equations　for　determining　the　shear　strength　when　the　thickness　of　frame　is　between　0.838　mm　and　1.370　mm.　At　present,　high-strength　CFS　framed　shear　walls　with　steel　sheet　sheathing　can　be　needed　in　mid-rise　construction,　particularly　in　the　seismic　area.　A　research　project　was　recently　completed　to　improve　the　shear　capacity　for　CFS　framed　shear　walls　with　steel　sheet　sheathing　by　two　methods:　(1)　thicker　studs,　tracks　and　blockings　(thickness:　1.727　mm),　(2)　more　sheathing　screws　(screws　spacing:　50.8　mm).　This　paper　presents　the　findings　on　the　shear　strength　for　high-strength　CFS　framed　shear　walls　with　steel　sheet　sheathing.　Ten　full-scale　shear　wall　specimens　with　aspect　ratios　of　2:1　were　tested,　including　four　different　shear　wall　configurations　and　two　test　methods.　This　paper　details　the　test　methods,　specimen　configurations,　the　test　results,　and　provides　the　nominal　shear　strength　values　for　the　high-strength　CFS　framed　shear　walls　with　steel　sheet　sheathing.　Additionally,　the　applicability　of　the　effective　strip　method　in　the　high-strength　CFS　framed　shear　walls　with　steel　sheet　sheathing　is　analyzed.　©　2021
